    This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! And the pricing is totally reasonable especially considering it's located in a casino. I went with three friends so there were four of us total. They have a full bar so we each started out with a drink (margarita, dirty martini, wine and beer). Most all of their meals are served family style so we shared the delicious large size wonton soup and it was the perfect size for four people (they also have single serving sizes). Then we shared an order each of calamari, sizzling pepper steak, shrimp wok fried rice, and spicy green curry with chicken. Every single dish was absolutely delicious! Our server, Irene, was very attentive and extremely nice, and the ambiance is attractive and not too loud. Our bill came to $149 before tip (that is $37 per person and really good pricing for the Palm Springs, CA area). I would highly recommend this restaurant! I look forward to going back because there are so many other menu items I want to try.

    The food was amazing and the service was awesome. Jenny, our wait staff member, was extremely attentive an engaged well with the group. Her backup team was awesome as well. The food was outstanding - great quality, taste and proportions. Their craft cocktails were excellent. Although they may charge for chips, they are more like mid-sized tortillas and are all homemade. They have several salsas depending on your spice tolerance as well. I cannot wait to go back and again, a big shout out to Jenny who made the experience perfect! Keep up the great work!
